Rules
Admission to Pirate Guild is by
invitation only. If ye think ye want to join, then
send
us a note telling us yer character's name, time zone, and
when ye play and then look us up in game.
Once ye be admitted to the guild,
ye be expected to follow our simple rules:
1
MOOCHING - The Guild does not exist to make yer life easy.
While we encourage our crew mates to help each other out when
they can, and ye may even need to ask for the occasional help,
but truth be told Pirates are self-sustaining, responsible
players who can take care of themselves. I don't want no
Guild mates coming up to me with every Quest they take on, askin'
for the ol' Captain to give them some of this or give them some
of that. There is no room in the Guild fer beggars.
I'm a Pirate - I ain't yer Daddy
2
DRAMA - There will be no unnecessary dramatics within the
Guild. In other words, if ye hopes to get all the
attention ye feel ye are missin' otherwise by startin' things
with other members of the Guild, then ye need not apply.
Pirates are stalwart, honorable types who treat Guild mates and
other players with respect. There is no room in the Guild
for baggage-laden drama queens (or kings).
I'm a Pirate - I ain't yer Mommy
3
FIGHTING - The Guild is a Guild, and Guilds generally work
and stick together. If ye have a quarrel with someone in
the Guild, take it to them directly and discuss it IN
PRIVATE - not on Guild chat nor in the Guild forums.
After ye have discussed yer issues, shake hands and depart as
Guild mates. If ye can't, then ye need to take it to yer
Captain. Members who can't abide by this rule will be
dealt with by their ship Captains. Pirates are held
together by sworn oaths of allegiance to their ships and to
their Guild. There'll be times when we disagree and that
be fine - ye are even welcome to use chat or forums for simple disagreeing.
But ye be wise to know the difference between disagreein' and
fightin' - the latter usually involves blades, and blades tend
to leave marks and hurt people. There is no room in the
Guild for back-stabbers.
I'm a Pirate - I ain't yer Mommy
nor yer Daddy
4
CHEATING - Since this particular game don't allow fer no
direct player versus player sword play, any cheatin' a player
would choose to do will generally only affect said player.
Basically, when ye cheat, ye only cheat yerself out of the
challenge of completin' yer Quests with honor and dignity.
That bein' said, the fact is we are Pirates, which leaves
us with 2 important points concernin' cheatin':
|
A If ye
be a cheatin', then don't be a braggin' about it!
If ye find a good place to fish, throwin' chum in to
the water will only attract the sharks. In
other words, keep the discussin' about yer exploits
within the Guild - do not post about it in the
forums and do not brag about it in public chat
areas. We can always share tips and help
within the Guild, but keep in mind - what happens in
the Guild stays in the Guild.
|
|
B
If ye be a cheatin' in any way that does do harm to
other players, such as hoggin' a limited resource or
other such nasty thing, then ye can expect to be
takin' a long walk on a very short plank. This
sort of cheatin' is NOT
TOLERATED in the Pirate Guild. |
I'm a Pirate - 'nuff said
What We Expect
Unlike other Guilds, we do not
require ye to be present for every Guild event, or to pay Guild
dues, or to give some crazy Guild salute every time Captain
Harlock appears on deck. We simply require ye to use
courtesy with one another and we encourage ye to help one
another and be a team player. These sort of things are
what be taken into account when the time comes for Guild
promotions to be handed out.
